Jython (formerly JPython ) is a pure Java implementation of the Python programming language and thus enables Python programs to be executed on any Java platform. This goes hand in hand with the fact that all Java libraries can be imported into Python programs and used dynamically. Compared to CPython, Jython offers unrestricted multithreading , but is limited to the outdated Python 2.
Jython is also well suited as a scripting language in Java development, but conceptually it is more geared towards a complete Python implementation than being well embedded in the Java world.
